A resident has complained that some vacant lots are not being mowed. In July 2013, the board voted to fully mow the lots in Theisen Trails. Bart Walsh owns several lots and does not crop the land, so he pays full taxes. He explained that his lots get fully mowed at least twice per year and keeps the terrace and about 12-feet in on the other side of the terracemowed throughout the warm months. Chief Zautner has been in contact with foreclosed property owners and has stressed our ordinance height of 6-inches. This is an on-going and time-consuming process, though, and the Chief is having to make calls every time the lawns need mowing. For now, the policy that was passed in July 2013 stating that the lots in Theisen Trails need to be fully mowed is still in effect.

The Planning Commission made a recommendation that curb, gutter, and sidewalks at the current Piggly Wiggly location be delayed until such a time when safety issues arise. TR Schickert made the motion to follow the Planning Commission’s recommendation and TR Krebs seconded the motion. Motion carried. (Aye-6, Nay-1 Twohig)

Our auditor recommended that we do a sewer and water increase. To do more than a 3% water rate increase, it would cost us up to $7000 to have the auditors do the application for the Public Service Commission. TR Krebs suggested we find the information that the auditors have done in the past and see if we are able to do the application ourselves. The water rate increase was postponed until the July meeting.

The sewer utility currently charges a $15/quarter base rate. TR Schellhaass made the motion to increase the sewer base rate by $5 ($20/quarter base rate) and increase the sewer volume charge by 8% (from $9.13 to **********) beginning with Quarter 3, 2014. The motion was seconded by TR DelPonte. Motion carried. (Aye-5, Nay-2 Krebs, Schickert)

Only two people have applied so the ad is going to be run again in the Campbellsport News and this will be discussed again at the July meeting.Motion was made by TR Krebs and seconded by TR DelPonte to pass Resolution #650 for CMAR Compliance as required by the WPDEP permit. Mark Gruber and Bill Hess were asked to come up with some money saving ideas. The rate increases from agenda item 11 will also be used for item 2 of this resolution. Motion carried. (Aye-7, Nay-0)
